National Instruments 778926-01

The National Instruments part number 778926-01 designates the PXI-8252, a PXI Firewire IEEE 1394 Module from the Frame Grabber series. This module features three IEEE 1394a camera input ports, facilitating high-speed image acquisition with a bandwidth of 400 MB per second. It is designed for compatibility with Windows operating systems, including Windows 2000, XP, Me, and 98, and includes NI Vision Acquisition Software to streamline image collection from connected IEEE 1394 cameras. The PXI-8252 is equipped with three 6-pin female IEEE 1394 connectors and includes a 32-bit universal signaling PXI connector, supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V signaling at 33 MHz. Its typical power consumption is approximately 140 mA at 3.3 V, and it can deliver up to 12 W of IEEE 1394 bus power shared among multiple cameras. The module adheres to international safety standards such as IEC-60068-2-1 and IEC-60068-2-2, certified for indoor use in environments with a pollution degree of 2. For optimal operation, the PXI-8252 is recommended to function within a temperature range of 32 to 131 °F and a non-condensing relative humidity of 10 to 90%. When stored, it can endure temperatures from -4 to 158 °F with a relative humidity range of 5 to 95%. Although designated as obsolete, the 778926-01 remains available for purchase and repair services through Apex Waves.
